[@Klingonmastr]

You can get a Maurice Lacroix Aikon watch that looks very similar to the Royal Oak. At $2000 it isn't exactly a budget watch like the Tissot PRX. That is why I would rather wear something like a PRX 80, Tissot Gentleman, or Seiko Alpinist. Then I don't have to worry about being robbed. Whose going to steal a $600 watch?

[@pancit8403]

Love my PRX. As a student, couldn’t afford the auto, but the level of detail on the case and bracelet are amazing 😁

[@jeffrendered3564]

i actually prefer the quartz. That dial is cleaner and doesn't conjure up the comparison with other brands.

[@forgettmenot]

@@jeffrendered3564 I second that + the historical accuracy coming along with it as well with the original Seastar quartz. I do wear my Omega AT more often but my PRX is my real beater that I'll wear if I expect some water + rough activities, thanks to the more shock resistant quartz movement.

Picked up the automatic PRX 80 in black dial and it is absolutely gorgeous. I also had the luxury of owning an AP 15400ST a while back but it didn't have that same level of comfort as the PRX. I was always terrified of wearing my AP outside especially downtown so the PRX was an absolute must for me. I can stare at it all day and not get bored. If you can get your hands on the automatic version, I highly, HIGHLY recommend it.

I bought the quartz PRX three months ago and couldn't be happier. It's become my daily wearer because I don't have to reset it every day, just put it on and walk out the door!

[@superleggera1900]

I've always wanted to handle and try on a Patek Philippe Nautilus, and a month ago, I was able to. And it was definitely very disappointing. If you had removed the name of the dial, I would've thought "Oh, it's a nice watch, well finished movement, maybe in the upper 4 figure range?". It was very thin and more dressy, which was nice, but I would much rather have 100k in my bank account than it. I was actually more impressed when I tried on a Royal Oak and a VC Overseas. Given the choice, i'd take the Overseas and a Na1 NSX instead of the Nautilus.

The Tissot PRX Powermatic80 is as good a watch as any I have in my collection. As it stands I’m currently wearing a Rolex Submariner 116610LV. In my collection I also have a Omega NTTD SMP, Rolex DeepSea Sea Dweller, Millgaus, and a Panerai. The Tissot doesn’t get lost in the box and holds its own against them all. Fantastic watch!

I mean sure I can't justify buying it, but the macro does really highlight the amount of detail and precision in the AP. And the actual side by side does show that I do in fact like the AP more. you know, if both were free to grab, on a table, like a starter Pokémon

[@camatkinson4708]

I have definitely sat in AP house whilst wearing a RO and referred to the patisserie dial before. I remember walking out, the right word coming to my brain, and rather than the sheer embarrassment I should have felt, just being in awe of the customer service rep who kept a straight face the whole time. That’s what the extra 300k pays for 😂

[@johnscholl6719]

Have the PRX auto in blue and honestly it feels like one of my most high end watches even though I have watches that are triple the price. It’s a great deal

[@Chris-mm5gi]

Love your videos. But this one almost completely changed my worldview (and further desire to own) true “luxury” watches. I was getting to the point if thinking there might be a reason to pick up a $10,000 watch. But if I want an integrated bracelet plaything I think Tissot will get my money.

[@formolzinho]

The AP's "hexagonal screws" are a eyesore to me and they hurt my engineer mind. Great video!

[@TucsonDude]

Kinda like a pipe-stretcher in concept, eh?

[@Ba_Yegu]

Exactly. Why are there slots for the screwdriver when the screws themselves can't be turned? A Plastic Bezel with decorations which look like screw heads is not worse design-wise. I have one watch like that: £$€25. 😉

Bought the PRX powermatic blue last year when it released after the quartz and I LOVE every time I have it on. It’s such a beautiful watch truly 💙

[@thamadflava]

PRX is a fantastic watch, I wear my blue PM80 every other day (on average). I've gotten it for kicks originally, but - hell - I actually love this piece *a lot*. There are just two sports watches with integrated bracelets that I like - one is VC Overseas, the other one is PRX - and, well, the 'choice' was obvious for me.

[@ludovitvirag3911]

I really loved the PRX on pictures, but when I actually tried it on I decided to pass. It looked quite small on the wrist and the shape just wasn't just right for me. I love my Carson Chrono though. AP Royal Oak is a timeless and perfected design, but unthinkable with my budget. I will probably opt for Maurice Lacroix Aikon in 42 mm

[@r.sakarollsafe1285]

Let's face it, Buying AP is not for the tech or art on your wrist... WE want to buy it for the name, history and the sudden awe from people recognizing it and think you're the dog's bollock for having one. Most that have it, have FU money to throw around. And let's be honest so does Rolex owners. they might argue it's a functional watch, so does Garmin too. and let's not start it with the Jacob & Co lovers. The epitome of "more money than sense" and people hated Hublot owners. Normal people like us, we wear watches that intrigues and looks great to each taste of our own, and most importantly doesn't require us to sell a house or sell our soul to the devil to get one. Although, by any chance a disgusting pile of wealth comes my way or yours, I won't hesitate to own one and I won't judge others for doing so. Just like if I have the option of owning a Ferrari I would, but for now let me enjoy my ever reliable Toyota
